Finding the 'right' electric motorcycle in Malaysia
Things you need to know

Street Legal
In Malaysia, a ‘street legal’ electric motorcycle can be used on public roads. This means the vehicle needs to be registered with the Road Transport Department and possess licence plates and insurance coverage. The rider also needs to have the requisite ‘driving’ licence (mainly B2 category) to ride the bike.
Pricing
Different types of configuration will determine the price.
